[No CP/big heroine/powerful/empress]
On the way to Beijing to take the exam, his family property was robbed, his clothes were in rags, and his eldest grandson Rongle became a beggar.
I thought I just wanted to earn money and pay for my expenses honestly, but I met him.
Qi Shanji: "As long as you are willing to put on the phoenix robe, the position of queen will be yours."
Changsun Rongle: "What if I want to be more than just a queen?"
Everyone knows that the new emperor is cowardly, and the queen is just a puppet who can be manipulated.
Little did he know that the real person in power in this palace had already changed his mind.
From a rural orphan girl to a pawnshop owner, from a queen to a ninety-five-year-old man.
Since the world is unfair, I will lift the chessboard and sit on it myself!
As for the "handsome guy" who claims to be helping me?
Ha, it's just a... Well, a nice stepping stone on my path to power.
